Evolution was fueled by endosymbiosis, cellular alliances in which one microbe makes a permanent home inside another. For the ...

Evolution might allow for multiple optimal solutions, depending on the constraints and conditions under which an organism ...

Over time, those single-celled organisms were able to evolve into multicellular life, and eventually into all the living things we see around us. Scientists believe that single-celled organisms ...

This article explores the transformative potential and challenges of single cell omics in advancing our understanding of ...

This study provides a valuable new resource to investigate the molecular basis of the particular features characterizing the pipefish embryo. The authors found both unique and shared gene expression ...

Whether it is pods of whales or collectives of tiny cells, life's building ... "While the evolution that led to Drosophila which we study today followed one particular path, the fact that many ...

The first step is to evolve light-sensitive cells. This appears to be a trivial matter. Many single-celled organisms have eyespots made of light-sensitive pigments. Some can even swim towards or ...
